Value Collection BD-18360 Locking Fork Terminal 50 Pack

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18360 is a locking fork terminal designed for secure, vibration-resistant electrical connections in control wiring and panel termination work. Built with a copper contact and a tin (TiN) plating for corrosion resistance, this crimp-style terminal accepts a number 6 stud and is rated for 600 volts. The partially insulated nylon sleeve protects the barrel while leaving the fork exposed for tool-free stud engagement. Electricians and panel technicians use these terminals where a reliable, reusable mechanical connection is required on grounding studs, bus bars, and terminal strips. Sold in a pack of 50.

This terminal is well suited for residential and light commercial electrical panel work, HVAC control wiring, and industrial enclosure wiring where number 6 stud connections are common. The locking fork design prevents accidental disconnection under vibration or thermal cycling, making it appropriate for motor control centers, junction boxes, and equipment grounding applications. The red color coding corresponds to the standard 22-18 AWG wire range designation used in North American wiring practice.

Key Features

• Locking fork design resists pull-out and vibration-induced loosening
• 600-volt rating suitable for control and power wiring applications
• Copper contact with TiN plating for conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Partially insulated nylon sleeve for barrel protection and easy identification
• Number 6 stud size fits standard grounding and terminal strip hardware
• CSA Certified and UL Listed for code-compliant installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp locking fork terminal for use with number 6 studs in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical applications. Fits standard crimping tools rated for the applicable wire gauge range.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating or removing any wiring. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool appropriate for the wire gauge being terminated to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Do not over-tighten the stud fastener, as excessive torque can crack the nylon insulation sleeve.
